Also, a translated spoiler from 2Ch, http://sanzaki-kojika.livejournal.com/24881.html , about InuYasha reads that chapter 558 will be the last chapter, meaning that InuYasha will end in Issue #29, June 18th, after a 12 year run.*

A just ruler amongst tyrants

First off, id like to thank the academy for making Rumiko finally give up inuyasha. Id like to thank mom and dad, who bore me and gave me life, just so i could see this day. id also like to thank.... ummmm... uhhh... Satan. ya, satan, Thanks. Without your help, this day never wouldve come.

In all Srsns, I knew the series was gonna end before 560. You could just tell by how it was going. But watch, they have kids and name one "Nekoyasha" xD

I read ALOT of manga, and before i'd ever gotten into reading I had watched ALOT of Anime, Inuyasha was one of my first ten being a US citizen, but man did it ever get me into it. So I must say that although it's sad when stories end, because they've been there for so long, it also makes me feel good because it's finnally finished. I loved this series, truly great. And hey, if it doesnt fulfill your expectation's go read some fanfiction. I'm aquainted with quite a few auther's and must say these people can fricken write. Sueric-san is especcially good.

Inuyasha's finally over?!? MAN THAT TOOK A WHILE

wait no
that can't be Inuyasha is still going on
i thought it was over with 12 years ago XD
well anyways thanks to the end of inuyasha.

Wow its finally over maybe she can finally get back to writing good mangas. I hated Inuyasha it was boring, and pretty repetitive. And as VG cats once said "$@#$ Inuyasha It's Dragonball Z for girls!"

WOW!!! I can't believe it!!! I thought I wouldn't be alive to see this series end! hahaha!

I don't think that inuyashas popularity will end within another 10 or so years 🙂

Well, even though the manga is coming to an end, according to Suwa Michiko's statement at a Q&A at Animazement, there is still a strong chance that it will be picked up and animated again. He wants to air it at prime time (Monday at 7) like it used to be, but I think Kekkaishi might be filling that spot. So, chances are, it will at least have another 5 years on it...

Well I remember even when the Inuyasha anime was ending, they expected to have the series pick back up when the end was near. Or continue it via OAVs...?

Anyhow, maybe we'll get an answer on the triangle unless Rumiko decides she wants a Ranma 1/2 ending (instead of a Maison Ikkoku one).

wonder what rumiko's got cooking since inuyasha's gonna end? she's got no other ingoing series, anyone think she'll retire?

Well, she has been around for a while, and I know she's like the age of my mother...but there has been no news either way on what she's planned. I know she went back and finished up some of her older work, One Pound Gospel more recently, but it sounds like the general consensus on that was because she was reaching a milestone age (turning 50), but because she was planning on retiring. I think they'll probably stick something in the Shounen Sunday when it comes to it though..but, I think she'll probably do at least one more series, just a lot shorter than InuYasha.

Yeah, but this was information I got from Animazement this year back in May...so, it's pretty certain it will continue this time around. Chances are though, it will be another tv series based on everything that was said. It's gonna hafta be about 60 episodes.

As much as she drag out Inuyasha, it would seem pretty lousy for her to quit after that. She should retire on a high note. What time/age do mangaka usually retire though?

And even though I'm not getting all watery-eyed over Inuyasha ending, I'd get watery-eyed over Rumiko finishing her work. 🙁 She is probably the most well-known mangaka that got moved over to North America since Ranma 1/2 was one of the early series brought over (and the volumes came at the price of $30 a volume translated).
